Definitions
- the invention concerns a wearing part arrangement provided with a holder attachable to a supporting surface arranged at a leading edge of an implement, the holder providing releasable attachment of a wearing part by means of a socket-and-pin type quick-fit coupling, wherein the holder comprises a pair of opposing first guide portions providing lateral support to the wearing part, being arranged to face corresponding supporting faces provided on the wearing part, and a pair of second guide portions facing the supporting surface of the implement and providing vertical support to the wearing part, being arranged to face corresponding top faces of the wearing part.
- WO 2013/176551 discloses a wearing-part arrangement comprising holder and a replaceable wearing part to be attached to the holder, the holder being received and secured on a supporting surface at a leading edge of an implement, wherein the holder and the wearing part are provided with corresponding attachment projection and socket, respectively comprising cooperating guide portions, the guide portions of the holder being formed as guide faces facing the supporting surface and being slanted relative to the supporting surface, falling in a direction away from the leading edge, wherein the wearing part includes one or more abutment portions which, when the wearing part is fixed in the holder, rest supportingly against the supporting surface.
- the invention has for its object to remedy or to reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art, or at least provide a useful alternative to prior art.
- the term “length” is to be understood as the extent of an element in the operative moving direction of a wearing part when the wearing part is arranged on the leading edge of an implement, possibly the extent of an axis lying in a plane coinciding with said moving direction and a supporting surface on which the wearing part is attached.
- the term “width” is then to be understood as the extent of the element transversal to the operative moving direction of the wearing part and parallel with said supporting surface.
- the term “height” is then understood as the extent of the element up from a plane coinciding with said supporting surface on which the wearing part is attached.
- the terms “forward”, “rear” and the like are related to the operative moving direction of the wearing part when the wearing part is arranged on the leading edge of the implement.
- a new invention in the form of a wearing-part arrangement comprising a replaceable wearing part arranged for releasable quick-fit attachment to a holder provided on a supporting surface of the implement adjacent the leading edge, wherein said wearing part and holder are provided with cooperating guide portions which, in a projection perpendicular to the supporting surface, extend substantially in the operative moving direction of the implement.
- the wearing part and the holder are connected by means of a socket-and-pin type quick-fit coupling as the wearing part may be driven into engagement with the holder by means of a force that acts substantially in the longitudinal direction of the guide portion, for example by the use of a striking tool, to take a correct working position without fasteners in the form of screws, bolts or the like being used.
- the socket is arranged for surrounding a tip portion of the pin and at least adjacent portions of the neighbouring side faces of the pin.
- One of the wearing part and the holder is provided with the socket, and the other one of the wearing part and the socket is provided with the pin.
